NeonEcho: Awakening

By Mark Adam Bush

A cyberpunk thriller about identity, memory, and the bond that refuses to die.

When Ryn is found in a scrapyard with no past, no name, and a damaged data-port at the base of his skull, one thing is clear: someone wanted him erased. Dragged into the neon underbelly of a city ruled by Helix-an all-seeing corporate giant-Ryn begins piecing together the fragments of a life he can't remember... and a power he shouldn't have.

But he isn't alone inside his own mind.

A voice-sharp, brilliant, impossibly alive-echoes through the static. She calls herself NeonEcho, and she claims she once saved him. She also claims they were never meant to survive.

As Ryn, NeonEcho, and his fast-talking mechanic friend Jax navigate blacksites, surveillance districts, and the shadows of Helix's experiments, they uncover a conspiracy built on stolen identities and engineered obedience. Corporate hunters close in. A rogue scientist manipulates events from the dark. And buried deep in Ryn's lost memories lies a secret powerful enough to make them both targets.

Because Ryn wasn't just reset. Someone tried to erase him.

Now, to survive, he must confront the truth of who he was-and decide who he's willing to become.

NeonEcho: Awakening is a cinematic sci-fi thriller about memory, trauma, connection, and the courage to rebuild yourself from the pieces left behind. Perfect for fans of Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix, and character-driven futuristic thrillers.
